Grimsby host Barnet in an eagerly-awaited League Two clash with both sides mid-table and looking to push for consistency. Given the attacking potential of both sides, we predict a 2-2 draw at Blundell Park. The Mariners sit 12th, having won three of their last five matches, including a 1-0 victory over Fleetwood. Key players Gardner and Svanthorsson are unavailable, but the team’s home form has been solid, averaging 1.50 goals scored per match and keeping clean sheets in 50% of home fixtures. However, BTTS has occurred in only 33% of home games, suggesting a tight defensive setup at Blundell Park.
Barnet, 11th, arrive off the back of a 2-1 win at Crawley and have no fresh injury worries. The Bees have been slightly more prolific away, scoring 1.60 goals per game and keeping clean sheets in 60% of road matches. Historically, their meetings are high-scoring affairs: 91% of H2H games saw over 2.5 goals, with both teams scoring in 82% of matches.
Given aforementioned statistical data, an entertaining contest is on the cards with goals likely at both ends. Therefore, BTTS is our main betting tip, alongside Over 2.5 (91% H2H) and Over 3.5 goals (64%).
This League 2 match will be played on Saturday 17 January 2026 at 15:00.
